shovelbill
Oh, the horror...
hey all, figured i'd introduce myself here.......my name is Bill and i'm a 50 year old biker. Got 4 Harleys now, an '80 shovel I built from scratch, an '84 softail with 246K miles on her, a '95 police Road king I just blew the motor on and the only new bike I ever own in 30 yrs riding, a 2015 FLD Switchback.
been in Chevy trucks for 35 years. I had a few K/5's...a '75, '78, '80, a 1986 GMC Jimmy, and my last K/5, a'90 Blazer that my seat went through the floor
. completely rotted.....pretty much all set up with a 2 1/2" all leaf suspension lift with 4.56s and 35's.......i'm on my way upstate to pick up my new 1997 rcsb 4X4 GMC Sierra, which is my first IFS rig.......had some pickups too, one a fantastic C20 Camper Special that I really liked.
going to go over the whole truck before I decide on the modifications I want. my brother's friend just did the body(new fenders, doors, cab corners and rockers with a rust free southern bed. transmission was rebuilt 2 years ago and now has new door panels......172K on the clock.......3.42's with an open rear. decent tires on stock rims. a good start in my book.....has a Vortec 350. the newest truck I ever owned.
this truck will be used in bad rain, snow, towing, carrying broke down bikes mostly.....otherwise I ride.
I have some things mullin' around my head as to what I want to do, but that's a bit down the road till I get this 100%. if I go with 33's i'll look for a sf 14 and do a 4" SAC up front, 0probably a Dana 44 with a selectable locker.......a receiver hitch in front, had one in back and a winch cradle with a 9.5 K and synthetic line........some smart lights.....I like low capable trucks, i'm more of the "Camel Trophy" truck mindset as opposed to "bigfoot"......got the truck for a great price for where it was and what it is.........that's about it for now.
